seed starting


   I have been experimenting with using rockwool cubes to start seeds in.  My
first try has been very successful.  I have a seedling that is a week old and
the first true leaf is almost open.  There is no sign of roots showing through
the outside of the cubes.  I used a 4x4x3 cube and then I fitted another cube
to the bottom because the cubes have slots on the bottom that will lock
together.  The plant looks very healthy and I have only watered it once and
that was yesterday.  The rockwool holds moisture well,  but allows a great
deal of air circulation.  
  Has anyone used these in the past and if so have they encountered any
problems down the road?
  If anyone wants more info please E-mail Me.
